Piano
Tuning Meters are costly, but they can save money over the years, and they
can be used to check up on the piano tuner's work. They can also be
very useful in tuning any other instrument. Virtually all of the orchestral
instruments can be tuned with a good piano tuning meter.

Here
are the Piano Tuning Meters we offer. I hope to add other choices with time,
but I refuse to carry meters which I cannot prove are reliable and worth
the money. So, the choice is sparse, but I believe these are among the best
Tuning Meters on the market. Please feel free to SEND
E-MAIL with your questions.

We
are the only supplier who requires the Korg clip-on mic be included in the
package. Why? We know you will tune more of the potential scale this meter
can hear if you use the clip-on mic. The combo price is set to make this
a very desirable choice.

This
meter is Korg's very recent upgrade from the CA-30. The aspect which caused us
to jump on this one is that Korg has added equal temperament to this meter.
There is virtually NO meter on earth with equal temperament for this price.
The Korg OT-120M below is still great step up if you want other temperaments and
the Sound Back feature to set the starting point of the tuning of an old piano
which cannot be raised to A-440 for old age reasons.

* Even if the pitch is within
the detection range, detection may not be possible for instrumental sounds
that contain a large number of overtones or have a rapid decay. By overtones,
we mean the secondarysounds made on better quality pianos. Though desirable
and sought afterby most musicians, these overtones may confuse the meter in
the highestend of its hearing range, perhaps the last four notes.

Clip
On Mic Included in the price of the meter-- Korg CM-200:

This
mic clips onto some fixed part of the piano and takes the vibrations directly
by contact. It can be used to tune through background noise, which this mic
will not hear. I have never had to replace one of these mics. They seem to
be indestructible. This mic makes it possible to tune other instruments of the
orchestra and band while in a noisy setting by clipping on to a solid part
of the instrument.

If
you see our competition pricing this meter well below ours, it is because
they do not include the added clip-on Mic.Beware
of tricky Web Stores which show the mic in the photo but charge extra for
the mic.

KORG
TM-50 TUNING METER AND METRONOME COMBO

KORG'S
TM-40 IS IDEAL FOR BAND USE, AND PIANO TUNINGIS SUPPORTED JUST AS EASILYAND
ACCURATELY AS THE OTHERKORG METERS WE SELL

<<<<
The graphic size is exagerated. Also, TM-40 is pictured,
but has been replaced by TM-50

Korg
tuners and metronomes are acclaimed around the world for their extremely high
accuracy and superb features. A great lesson and practice tool, the TM-40
offers both tuner and metronome functions simultaneously or independently.
Its large LCD-type needle delivers both the accuracy of an LCD and the excellent
visibility of a needle indicator. It also has LED indicators that show pitch
deviation or blink to indicate the tempo, making the TM-40 a highly visual tool.

The
key to piano tuning it to have Equal Temperament. This meter has this as a default
tuning.

With
a detection range of C1 (32.70 Hz) - C8 (4186.01 Hz), the TM-40 can hear the whole
piano scale except for the lowest 3 notes. We suggest you learn to do the
lowest five or six notes byear
anyway, so this meter fills a need at a very reasonable price.

UNIQUE
TUNING FEATURE OF THIS METER:Pure
Major Third and Minor Third Interval Markings

When
intervals of a third are played out of tune in the context of a brass band, orchestra,
or other ensemble, it is particularly noticeable. But those intervals can
be made to blend more pleasantly by slightly adjusting them (relative to the
equal-tempered pitch) to a pure major or minor third. The TM-40's meter scale
provides markings to indicate pitches of a pure major and pure minor third
relative to a selected pitch. By tuning your instrument so that the meter's indicator
needle points to these markings, you can ensure beautiful harmonies when playing
in an ensemble. This capability is very useful not only for wind instruments,
but also for vocal or a cappella practice. This feature will thus support
Baroque musical tunings.

*
The appropriate note to adjust when tuning to a pure major/minor third will depend
on the music you are playing.

Choose
from preset patterns. Beat mode lets you choose a preset tempo and time signature,
and Tap mode lets you specify your own tempo. Contains a large speaker for
a clear and distinct metronome sound.

Tempo
is easily adjustable in a range of 40 - 208 beats per minute (bpm). Rhythms,
such as triplets/quadruplets with center beats omitted, cover a wide range of
styles from classical to rock and jazz.

When
using the Tuner and Metronome functions simultaneously, triplets, triplets with
center beats omitted, quadruplets, and quadruplets with center beats omitted
are not available.

Tempo
Adjustment Options

When
you adjust the tempo setting, you can choose that the tempo value will increment
or decrement either in "full-step" mode (steps of a single unit)
or "pendulum-step" mode (steps of several units as on a mechanical
metronome). Choose the mode that you prefer.

Set
the Tempo with the Tap Function

The
Tap Tempo function lets you set the desired tempo by pressing the Metronome mode
START/STOP button at the desired timing in a range of 40 - 208 bpm. This makes
it easy when practicing to a song that you don't know the tempo of, such as
a recording on CD.

Memory
Backup

With
the Memory Backup feature, the TM-40 remembers your Tempo, Beat, Calibration,
and Reference Pitch settings even when powered-off.

Engineered
for precise pitch accuracy, versatile functionality, and with careful attention
paid even to the movement of the needle, the OT-120M Orchestral Tuner allows
ideal tuning under any conditions, with an incredibly broad tuning spectrum that
covers the pitch ranges of all instruments.

The OT-120M is the newest model in Korg's lineup of tuners whose precision and
functionality has made them the choice of musicians around the world. The
OT-120M features a dual display with both a VU-style meter for accurate pitch
indication and an LCD screen for excellent visibility.

Even
with its advanced functionality, operation is simple, with intuitively understandable
switches and dial. It provides a wide range of pitches and a variety of tuning
methods, including a Sound Back mode that lets you check the pitch both by eye
and ear. Housed in a compact package, the OT-120M orchestral tuner provides
all the functionality you need for everything from transposing instruments
to historical temperaments.

The
Sound Back feature will allow the piano tuner to play middle "C", and
the meter will give the tone nearest to the one being played. This tone can
then be used to calibrate the meter and tune a piano which is way below standard
pitch. This will help to prevent breaking strings on very old pianos, and
"Raising Pitch" will be easier to control.

Featuring a dual display with a VU-style meter for accurate pitch indication plus
an LCD screen

The dual display of the OT-120M provides a VU-style meter to guarantee high-precision
tuning as well as an LCD screen that shows not just the correct pitch, but
also the sound output level, calibration, key or temperament, and much more at
a glance. Its broad range (A0-C8) provides instant coverage for all notes
and ranges of wind, string, and keyboard instruments. The response of the
needle to an iut sound can be adjusted over three levels, from quick response
for rapid tuning to slow response for careful tuning. Calibration can be
adjusted over an exceptionally wide range to support any concert pitch.

Versatile tuning
methods include Auto/Manual modes and Sound Back mode

You can choose from two tuning modes: Auto mode in which the pitch of a single
note played on your instrument is detected automatically, or Manual mode
in which the desired pitch can be specified in detail. A reference tone can be
sounded, allowing two or more musicians to tune simultaneously. The sound
output level can be adjusted in two levels, covering situations ranging from
small studios to halls.

In
addition, Sound Back mode detects the pitch that is iut via the included contact
mic to the iut jack, and sounds the closest reference pitch from the built-in
speaker. Since the meter also operates, you can verify the pitch by both eye and
ear, which allows you to hone your sense of pitch and to tune more accurately.
The built-in mic is ideal for pitch measurement of any acoustic instrument.

Broad
support for transposing instruments and historical temperaments

As a convenience for transposing instruments, twelve keys including both sharps
and flats are supported. The Multi Temperament function provides eight frequently-used
historical temperaments, making the OT-120M the ideal choice for use with
specific classical and other tunings.
